the printing press and the spread of knoledge.



well first of all the printing press helped them out allot. Because they had to do it the hard way at first. Like they had to do something like taking a piece of sheet paper and putting ink on the paper with blocks that had letters and they would copy it that way. But now they have the printing press and it moves allot faster than the other things. I mean it's still slow but it can get through things quicker. And now they can make more books and such and that means allot of more people can learn. Because at first only people who were at the churches could read and plus they only had like one book per town and poor people couldn't bye it. But the more copies they sell they less the book and the more people get to learn.


And now we have like the Internet. You don't even have to print it out because it is like rite there in front of you and you can read it over and over again with out it being ruined or destroyed. And plus you can get more in to details with what you may be looking for and you can learn allot more than what you thought you could. And plus it doesn't matter if you poor or even rich Everybody has the same opportunities as each other, As long as you can get to a computer with the Internet. And now the people who don't even look like they may be smart be one of the smartest kids in the school. And with this new technology you can learn with out being judge.

Make topic sentences stronger. Ex. Instead of saying, "well first of all the printing press helped them out allot" try the printing press altered Europeans and their spread of knowledge in numerous ways. Your details to support the paragraphs are very good though.

Please fix small errors (capitalization, try to avoid writing like you talk to someone (like), etc.) As is 25/30 points.
